Decentralization School Improvement

by Martin Carnoy, Duke de Nielsen, Jane Hannaway

Sponsored by the Consortium for Policy Research in Education Drawing on theoretical models, case studies, and comparative analyses of other sectors and countries, the authors argue that governance reforms are likely to have little impact on what actually happens in schools, and they tell why decentralized structural arrangements alone are unlikely to establish conditions necessary for general improvement in educational practice.
